The Kentucky Electors for President and Vice President met at Frankfort on the 4th day of December, 1844; and after closing their official business, appointed a Committee to prepare an address and to wait upon Mr. Clay the next day at Ashland. Upon reaching the door of Mr. Clay's dwelling, Mr. UNDERWOOD on behalf of the Committee, read the address and was replied to by Mr. Clay as follows: MR. CLAY'S REPLY.
